GoDawgs08 Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I recently noticed (I'm probably late) that some teams colors on the gridiron and the hardwood dont match up. UCLA and Baylor both used that metallic modern gold in football, but use the more traditional solid gold in basketball.is there a reason for teams not matching up? and are there any more who have this problem?

Discrim Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 it's kinda funny, a lot of UCLA teams didn't match each other until recently...for instance, until a few years ago the softball team wore royal blue and yellow, and baseball used to wear navy and yellow gold.

The Danimal Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 My guess is that nobody with a life thinks it's that important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMU Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Of course, there's also the issue of UCLA football using navy along with the metallic gold.My high school was the same way. Colors are brown and gold, but the gym is painted with yellow in the murals and the soccer/cross country uniforms use yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riot! Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I've always noticed that too. I don't know why they do that, it's probably what NYY said, tradition is the reason behind it. Help Change My User Name to Riot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cianfrocco Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Washington had a similar problem until Nike came in and made sweeping changes to all sports 7 or 8 years ago. At the time, I remember hearing that it was partly tradition that some teams used yellow while others used gold, and partly because there was no common leadership across different sports. Leave it to Nike to take care of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
